While we knew we had something big, we were totally unprepared for the reactions during the sneak peek demos over the last week.

Buckle up, tomorrow is launch day.

Don’t start a company. Start a few small projects.

Once you take this attitude, many decisions become a lot easier.

OK that was easy. 👇

Nuxt 3 has an upcoming feature to create reusable templates.

Cannot wait to showcase how powerful it is 🚀

I'm 110% down with the idea of Tailwind, but my biggest concern with adopting it in a component system would be that it limits abstraction since class names always need to be statically analyzable. Anyone who's faced this problem have a good solution?

Took a break from #ShowOffYourMind to add a shirt banner to the README of my @npmjs package "Deep Diff Pizza".

These shirts rule!

Here's where I landed with #ShowOffYourMind's logo!
Now I'm moving on. 👍🏻 #buildinpublic

West Texas storm chaser Laura Rowe captured the picture of a lifetime, fantastic shot of a mature supercell thunderstorm, illuminated at varying heights from the setting sun.

Just joined the @alongvideo Beta, and I’m sharing my journey creating #ShowOffYourBrain there!

It’s still early, but I love “Along” already and wrote about it on my website.

Added the logo along with the wordmark for context. I can't seem to shake the redish/pink border on the waveform chat bubble brain. 😬

It just adds a uniqueness that I enjoy for some reason...

I'm working on a logo that POPS, but I can't make up my mind. 🤔

Which resonates with you more, red border on the left or black border on the right?

[Shadow Smith @heyshadowsmith]

I think I'm going to try being more precise with the lengths of the lines next. 📏

[Shadow Smith @heyshadowsmith]

@iamctodd With this project, I'm leaning into my creative discomfort zone to try and make something unique.

The tip regarding mocking it up with more context is a super solid one that I am going to do next. 🙌

[Shadow Smith @heyshadowsmith]

@gaomengen Honestly, I feel like because it seems obvious to pick the black border, I’m leaning toward the red border. 😅

It’s striking, unconventional, and non-homogeneous which I feel translates into memorability.

[Shadow Smith @heyshadowsmith]

@KwantBuilder I’m curious if sticking with that rule is limiting and leans toward homogenization. 🤔

[Shadow Smith @heyshadowsmith]

The red border on the left really pops to me and feels like an unorthodox move that makes it stand out. Am I crazy?
